IHOP free pancakes on Feb. 5 with any donation to Children's Miracle Network

IHOP will serve free pancakes to benefit Children’s of Alabama in celebration of National Pancake Day February 5, at participating restaurants across the state.

Here's how it will work:That day, IHOP custom ers can enjoy a free short stack of IHOP’s famous buttermilk pancakes and, in turn, will be asked to make a donation to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH) to improve the lives of children at the 170 CMNH Hospitals nationwide. One-hundred percent of the funds donated at participating Alabama IHOP locations will be donated to Children’s of Alabama. This year will mark IHOP’s sixth year of celebrating the national event, and nearly 1,400 IHOP restaurants throughout the United States will once again invite guests to enjoy a free short stack of IHOP’s signature buttermilk pancakes from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Miracle Balloons will be sold for $1 each, personalized and displayed at participating IHOP restaurants during February, offering guests another way to show their support of CMNH and contribute to the National Pancake Day fundraising effort.
